Pros

I do not offer pros because it needs general cleaning and rearrangement of all processes in house.

Cons

From the process to bring you in to training to management to the way we work is unorganized, chaotic and not run properly. There is an archaic system in place that keeps qualified individuals regardless of years in grade levels/positions from moving into roles that may help the organization upgrade and succeed. They hand roles to people like tic-tacs to their "friends" instead of based on qualifications. There is no organization nor communication within the departments to allow for smoother more efficient processes. No one listens to employees. Specifically in Austin we are working in a run down and hazardous building that has been standing since 1985 and has not seen badly needed renovations or work equipment (I sat in seats in 2008 that upon return in 2022 were still being used. (Recently everyone received working and ergonomic chairs nearly 2 months ago). Training is non existent or just as unorganized, inconsistent and unhelpful as all other processes.

Pros

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

Cons

-communication from management is not always transparent -when you are at the bottom of the ladder, you get verbal abuse from not only POA and taxpayers (understandable, given this is the IRS), but also management/OJI's. They want to look good to their bosses and will throw you under the bus if they have to in order to save themselves. Even if they gave you instructions that got you in trouble. They SHOULD be supporting you in your function as an auditor, but they'll do whatever is easiest for themselves ultimately. -on job training can be disorganized -bureaucratic culture -like many other companies, a lot of things you're expected to learn by yourself. Such as how to avoid POA delays.
